[Steady Expansion of Digital RMB Cross-Border Connectivity Cooperation Scope] Reporters recently learned from the Digital RMB International Operations Center that following the signing of agreements with the initial 26 financial institutions, as of the end of September, an additional 39 domestic and international financial institutions have submitted applications to join as direct participants in the "CBETS" Cross-Border Settlement Comprehensive Service Platform. Since the beginning of this year, the Digital RMB International Operations Center has continuously optimized CBETS services and steadily expanded the scope of cooperation. It supports bilateral integration with foreign monetary authorities' payment systems and legal digital currency systems, as well as direct access for overseas financial institutions. Relying on this foundational platform, digital RMB cross-border services not only cover trade but also facilitate cross-border movement of personnel. (Xinhua News Agency)
